CompFox AI Summary
This Workers' Compensation Appeals Board order denies reconsideration and affirms the applicant's entitlement to disability indemnity at maximum earnings. The Board adopted the WCJ's reasoning, which focused on the applicant's earnings rather than the precise date of injury. Crucially, the Board found that the applicant's need for medical treatment for bilateral wrist carpal tunnel syndrome, even before a specific Labor Code 5412 date of injury was established, constituted a cumulative injury. This allowed the application of Labor Code 4458.2, entitling the peace officer to have his earnings calculated at maximum for indemnity purposes.
